I have been lurking here for a while but this is my first post 
I have been married for 13 years, when we got engaged we couldn´t afford a very expensive ring (up to now I had a 0.25 round brilliant with small sidestones) and I always dreamed of getting a 1 carat diamond ring. Now my dream has finally come true, my husband bought me a diamond and I had the ring custom made to fit next to my wedding and eternity bands. I love princess cuts but also wanted the ring to match my other two bands which have small round brilliants, so we had 3 small rounds set into each side of the ring. The ring is made out of white and yellow gold.
It´s a long story, but it was a drama to get the ring made, a friend of ours is a goldsmith and made the ring for me but the workmanship was a bit poor, the prongs were very uneven, the prongs weren´t `V`prongs like I wanted and the stone still moved and rattled in the setting after the ring had been sent back 3 times, there were other problems too, needles to say I was very disappointed
I had spent a lot of time planning it with him, I was quite shocked that it turned out the way it did. I expressed my frustration to my husband and we decided to find another jeweller to completely redo the ring. I am thrilled with the results 
I am a perfectionist and like everything to be even and symmetrical 
My diamond is H colour, VVS1, 1.05 carat, ratio 1:10 (slightly rectangular).

Your ring is lovely and looks so well matched with your wedding band. I love the side view of the ering.
